Without certain relevant information, all of these prices are useless when determining how well someone did, either alone or relative to yourself and your own deal. Posters must include such information as private seller or dealer, and if dealer, Certified Pre-Owned or not. You also need to specify where in the world you live, because geography also plays a significant role in the market price of any given vehicle. So that $42k could have been a shitty deal, or a fantastic one. It all depends. Without the aforementioned info, it's just a meaningless number.

Absolutely. Another important piece of info is whether you had a trade-in and how much they gave you for it.

sounds like there are some great deals to be had out there....to bad none of them are in Calgary hahaha....seem's like all M3's for sale here are way overpriced regardless of dealer or private sale!

just gotta wait it out and hopefully a good deal will come along

You might wait forever. I'm in Saskatchewan and I gave up trying to find one in Canada. I bought one in California and it's being shipped as we speak. With all import fees, transportation, etc it will still be about 20% cheaper than a 2008 M3 in Canada and it's a 2009. It takes a little more paper work then buying one in Canada, but it's not that difficult.
